Look at the whip scar on my leg and tell me racists have never harmed me.

Go on, tell my sister that it’s OK, she can have the year of her life she spent in hiding back, because obviously racists never harmed her.

If you’d heard my late Grandfather drunkenly mumbling about electrodes and how “they” were watching him, and realised this was the result of torture, not dementia, I dare you to try and tell me racists never harmed me.

You _could_ claim to never have directly harmed me if you were _one_ lone theorist, pissing in the wind - your pseudoscience would only harm my senses of taste and logic then. But you forget that there are people who put your fucking disgusting beliefs into practice.

They used to run my country.

And they were wrong, and you are wrong too, and history will piss on your collective graves.

So **An Gadaí** is right: Fuck that shit.

This is amazing. I grew up in a white neighborhood, white churches, white friends, white schools. The rarest of friends were Asian. I didn’t even meet a kid who had divorced parents until 7th grade, and that was 1983. He was white. Already had a half-sibling. First black classmate, 8th grade, 1984.

So needless to say, the largest number of assholes, fuckwads, cheats, hypocrites, etc., that this overprivileged white guy met during my life (41 years and counting) was from what race again??

Whites.

Of course, living in many areas around this country, I’ve met assholes of all colors, shapes and sizes, so if I used my own lame experiences and third-hand stories from other whiteys, like NDD seems to do, I should be on a Dave Chappelle skit. (Wait, he’s black. Certainly not as intelligent as us whites. Probably has Jews writing all his stuff, right?? :rolleyes: )

Some of these statements here are so absolutist, it sounds like racism is a religion in the nonchalant way the NDD describes it. You hear a couple stories from white friends about bad blacks, so ALL whites must be superior in intelligence and behavior to ALL blacks??

When do we get to Mexicans in this adoring pitting of intelligence and fact?? And since I mentioned a black celebrity, are black celebrities just a product of a liberal, apologist white world? They’re famous 'cause we owe them, right? (Wait, except the athletes, because NDD admits they’re superior in ONE thing.)

I think it’s important to shine a light on this sort of evil.

Of course, in my fantasies, that light is a [laser designator](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_designator).

Where is the Curlcoat aka The Curlinator?

After all, she’s the Queen on circular arguments.

I would be interested in her opinion or maybe not, how long will it take to join this Thread?

Yeah, it’s not that you’re wrong. It’s not that you lack the intellectual capacity to understand the arguments presented to you. It’s not that you’re making arguments about genetics while demonstrating a spectacular lack of knowledge about genetics. No, none of that; it’s that your position isn’t socially acceptable. Keep telling yourself yourself that.

To be fair, being a bigoted delusional idiot **is** usually socially unacceptable unless you’re a Tea Party member.

No love for my geneticist wager, I guess. As everyone should have suspected, **b84** only throws down the gauntlet on trifling side-points and red herrings, and not something that would show his main position to be unsupported horseshit.

I just didn’t want this particular thread derailed by NDD and all the responses to his idiotic posts. We don’t need this thread (or any other) turning into another “You’re a racist/No, racism is the new cool thing” exchange.

Worse than just 59 pages; in the six years he has been a member here, in the 7,000 posts he has made, he has never changed his mind about anything.

Shit, I have a pen on my desk that doesn’t change its mind about anything, and it’s not posting racist stupidities to my messageboard: **Pen** : 1, **Brazil84** : 0

How about on the [first page of this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15113172&postcount=22):

> People do not get angry when beliefs they are confident of are questioned. People get angry when opinions they want to believe in, but privately doubt are exposed as prejudices with nothing behind them but hot air.

My evidence:

How about nearly every fucking thread (Pit or otherwise) involving POLITICS, RELIGION, [9/11](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=425200&highlight=9%2F11) [conspiracy](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=518232&highlight=9%2F11)[theories](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=584675&highlight=9%2F11), [birthers](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=632151&highlight=moon+hoax), climate change, Kennedy assassination theorists, moon hoaxers, [anti-vaxxers](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=634806&highlight=vaccination), [creationism](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=648853&highlight=intelligent+design) (of the ID variety or not), or even more recently [Kozmik’s inane ‘conspiracy theories are real’ thing](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=656839).

You will clearly find people on both sides of issues, whether sensible or not, giving strong displays of emotion.

You’ve repeating this assertion multiple times, and it does you no credit to believe that simply presenting a calm front actually lends any sort of credence to junk logic.

I don’t expect yet another example of your inability to see your own poor logic to change your mind, though. I don’t give you credit for enough intelligence for the exercise.

Emotion is never an appropriate response to a scientific inquirery into the reasons for racial differences in intelligence, crime, and sexual behavior.
